Could be just me not keeping up with this series as much as I'd like, but Vice has improved immensely, and that makes me happy.

Seriously, nothing against this show, I just need better scheduling, since it's been getting really good. Revice doing the Ichigo pose made my day!

Thunder Gale Revice isn't bad design wise, but it could really use some more colors, since the lack of anything but bright yellow (maybe it's a reference to Zero-One, I don't know, no point in connecting dots), but as mentioned before, the Ichigo pose, the turbine on the stamp, is just such a great idea for this form, though we're likely going to get another form or two later.

But my gosh, the cinematography and atmosphere this episode felt like something you'd see in the Ultra series to me, during that inside Ikki's head sequence, it was such a good scene(s). Really liked the visual flair.

And George has now fulfilled his dreams as a Kamen Rider! Boy, he was a lot of fun to watch, and him shouting a bunch of Engrish made it better. He almost reminds me of an older Peter Parker, and I love it! And the family reunion that came earlier than expected, but looks like it will lead to some interesting developments.

RIP Olteca (unless Gifu decides to use his appearance when he gains more power), hugs for Aguilera (unless Gifu suddenly changes his mind and accepts her later, which I feel is possible), more hugs for Julio (back to the bowl cut, I see), cheers for Buu-San (the surprise hero), and cheers for Vice becoming corporeal (gotta say how much I liked Ikki and Vice conversing in Weekend's basement). I'm also really looking forward to how Daichi moves forward with FENIX and how he plans to deal with the bossman.

Next Episode: Let's make a movie for the best boy, Hiromi-San! Who wants to bet this is the episode/arc he returns.
